Fallout 2's Auger Quest

Preface: While I was studying abroad in France, I found that I had more free time than I had expected.  The campus internet wasn't exactly fantastic, and it was metered to prevent over-usage.  That meant I couldn't use Steam to download new games, and since I hadn't considered bringing very many with me, I was at the mercy of whatever I could find locally.  Of course, being a huge nerd, I used this free time as an excuse to explore the local "Saturn" store (basically a big electronics store; not the sort of place you probably think of when you think of France.) Yes, I know.  I'm studying abroad in a beautiful foreign country and here I am, scrounging for a reason to spend more time sitting in front of a computer screen.  I am painfully aware of this. You can imagine my surprise when I found a copy of Fallout 2 in a bin full of classic games.  For all intents and purposes, it appeared to be an English copy, too.  I bought it and headed back to campus.
